{a handmade Christmas}


I am all about decorating on a dime. And this Christmas, especially, offered no reason to change my ways.  So, here are some simple solutions for your grand taste but small pocketbook.

{above} Christmas trees using 12x12 sheets of scrapbook paper and candlestick holders.




In this we mixed burlap and grapevine together with some shimmer and shine to create a Winter Wonderland snowman for the front door.


And these little snowman ornaments will look great on our packages or make great little ornaments for our neighbors. Rolled with simple white yarn and hot glued together. Topped with a wire black hat and little wire arms...


But one of my favorites that I created this year for the home is this beautiful tulle wreath.



adding the special touch - a rolled flower from some quilt binding and a bird nestled inside.



{more to come}
